Car has no power when accelerating, and now won't accelerate over 25-30mph. When accelerator is "floored" power drops out, but RPMs go up. Check Engine light is on and flashes on occasion.

Why does engine run rich at times under acceleration?

not enough detail
to get an engine to accelerate , the air /fuel mixture is moved to rich in accordance with engine rpms
the more rpms the richer until the peak rpms are reached
( accelerator pump-power valve in carbies and ECM settings according to accelerator position
black exhaust smoke in diesels
so if you press the accelerator slowly then the air/fuel mixture is altered constantly in relation to the pedal setting
If you floor the pedal then it moves to rich and you get black exhaust smoke until the air mixture is again in balance

Engine shifts but rpms stay high

Your car acts like it needs a transmission service.That's where you should start. GM cars can act like the trans is shot when all it needs is a new filter. I don't understand how the dealer could miss it, though. Get back to me and let me know.

My 97 Outback has a miss at idle, at upper RPMs it seems to fire on all cylinders. The CEL is flashing. Today when I was driving it lost power on acceleration, limping along. The car never died. Once I...

If the light is flashing it means the engine has a misfire that can damage your catalytic convertor which is very expensive. A tuneup might be in order if its never been done, but I have personally seen many bad timing belts and fuel pumps that have gone bad on those vehicles also.
